FIA WEC: Audi wins the battle of titans at Silverstone

Andre Lotterer, Marcel Fassler and Benoit Treluyer scored the epic victory for the Audi Sport Team Joest at the 6 hours of Silverstone, the first round of the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship. The crew of the #7 Audi R18 started the race from the first place on the grid and finished in the same place, but between those two moments we saw six hours and 194 laps of intense and exciting battle against Porsche. The #2 Porsche 919 Hybrid, driven by Neel Jani, Romain Dumas and Marc Lieb, was 46 seconds late at the finish line but just after late puncture slowed them down.

Both Audi and Porsche lost one car so Toyo Gazoo Racing reached the podium with its #6 TS050 Hybrid, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Stephane Sarrazin. Two cars of Rebellion Racing finished 4th and 5th overall and celebrates 1-2 victory in LMP1 privateer class.
